  My first Old School... |
| I just needed a car for daily use in winter-time. I thought to buy old Mazda etc., but then I found out that it would be very nice, after many years, to drive a bug at winter... |
  Some patina... (scracthes, dents...) |
| I found this rusty dented '63 standard for reasonable price, and it really wasn't good one. So I decided to build it for winter-use (there is much salt on the roads at wintertime, and cars become very rusty). |

|
I slammed the front end about 10cm, chosed Empi 5-spokes (not genuine ones) as wheels with Michelin 135-15
stud tires up front and Continental 185/65-15 studs back. Original Talbot Racing mirrors on both sides and
t-bars.

Original standard steering wheel, old VDO rev counter, oil temp gauge and fuel gauge. And cow found by Heeba.
I forget the original 30hp 1200 engine, and added little bigger ond with dual Dellortos, almost stock
heads and cam, 009 distributor :)

  When I bought it, it was in quite poor shape... |
